I found only a single article in my research. That doesn't seem to meet the requirements of being broad. Jerod Lycett (talk) 12:12, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - There's some marginal coverage, but the article likely has WP:AUTOBIO issues. NickCT (talk) 15:46, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jerodlycett, there are actually many articles in formidable german newspapers and magazines of Frazan, his full name is Frazan Adil Kotwal and goes under that mostly. IN english there are also many interviews and articles done about him by some small and some big newspapers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolframwagner (talk • contribs) 08:13, 13 January 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Giving time for non-English sources to be checked into, or at least confirmation from editors that they looked into them during their BEFORE check (pinging User:Jerodlycett for comment).

Thanks, — Coffee //  have a ☕️ //  beans  // 06:47, 14 January 2020 (UTC) My search found one article that mentions him only in bare passing: and one on him. I do not see anything else on him. The first one that basically confirms he exists is non-English. That said, en-wiki is not meant to be prime-wiki. If this were the case the other-language wikis would simply be a translation effort. If he's notable in only the German speaking world, de-wiki exists for that. Jerod Lycett (talk) 20:46, 14 January 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * That's incorrect, if he's notable in Germany then he should be included, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:23, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

 * transwiki - delete from here, merge (or create) in german wikipedia. When the german article is good enough for english, it can be transwiki'ed again. WP:V is a core policy of enwiki. As long as we cant be certain that the subject is notable, we shouldnt have the article. If a german speaking (or any) editor can provide sources, we can evaluate/translate the sources. But until then, subject fails WP:V, and I cant find significant coverage, so the subject fails WP:GNG as well. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:30, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * As I'm not familiar with the German sources my position is neutral, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:35, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
